When thirteen-year-old Ronan Truelove’s seemingly ordinary mom snatches him from school, then sets off on a high speed car chase, Ronan is shocked. His quiet, nerdy dad has been kidnapped? And the kidnappers are after him, too?
His mom, he quickly learns, is anything but ordinary. In fact, she’s a member of an ancient order of knights, the Blood Guard, a sword-wielding secret society sworn to protect the Pure—thirty-six noble souls whose safety is crucial if the world as we know it is to survive.
Now all those after-school activities—gymnastics, judo, survival training—she made him take, make sense. For suddenly Ronan is swept up in a sometimes funny, sometimes scary, but always thrilling adventure—dashing from one danger to the next, using his wits to escape the Bend Sinister, a posse of evil doers with strange powers. Falling in with two unlikely companions, Greta, a scrappy, strong-willed girl he’s never much liked and Jack, a devil-may-care teenage pickpocket, Ronan is left with only his wits and his mom’s last words of advice: Trust no one.
That’s a lot for an ordinary kid to deal with. But then again, maybe Ronan’s not ordinary at all.

wow this is a cool book
Ronan is a boy who's mother is a part of the Blood Guard, a group of people who fight bad guys. He gets sent out by himself to find a safe place where evil people won't attack them. This book has intense battles and hilarious scenes. I totally recommend reading it.
did you get it on summer reading?
nope I got in it in advance
Ronan is just an ordinary kid (Who has been over scheduled by self-defense classes) until his mom tells him a troubling secret that leads him on a mission with twists, turns, and surprises.
13 yo Ronan Truelove's mom made him take a lot of after school activities like survival training, judo & gymnastics. When his mom grabs him from school & sets off in a high speed car chase, he comes to find out his mom is a knight in The Blood Guard, and suddenly all those afterschool class make sense!
This was a really fun and exciting book. It is very very humorous and adventurous. It is one of the best books I read and a easy read.

Ronan Truelove's mom snatches him from school, then sets off on a high speed car chase, Ronan is extremely shocked! His quiet, nerdy dad has been kidnapped? And the kidnappers are after him, too? (It sounds interesting right?) This story takes you on adventure after adventure read this book because its OUTSTANDING!
This is a really gg reat book. My friends read it so then I did and I loved it I recommend it to people who like adventure books.
This was such a fun and exciting book. It was just AMAZING!!!!! If you like adventurous books, this is going to be a perfect read. It was funny and original. Evelyn or actually Ronan is a regular normal teenage boy and then his mom takes him and starts speeding and is telling him his father is kidnapped. Then BAM!!! This was a fast pacing book, it was like all the words were falling off the pages, not literally. But still I enjoyed this humorous and adventurous book.
